Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori was an Italian physician who observed children as a part of her early psychiatric studies.

Her curiosity and scientific study led her to develop a new teaching method that we now know as The Montessori Method.

Her first school, Casa dei Bambini or ‘Children’s House,’ opened in Rome in 1907 for children three to seven years old. The success of the Children’s House and innovation of The Montessori Method spread through Europe, Asia and eventually worldwide.

Today we continue to study and practice Maria’s lifelong passion- observation-based, child-led education.
